Beyond the Hawkins-driven hype, I do think, however that it is worth attempting to model the brain more closely in ML. It may be that, practically, the whole HTM thing doesn't really work out -- but it will be interesting to see how i

Uh, this is just a total misunderstanding of how and why these systems work the way they do. Of course command grammars are recognized on the device, otherwise you wouldn't be able to turn your TV on using a command or use basic functi

Beats me. (pause) I could hear no difference before or after the switch -- in fact I couldn't hear any beat other than the clapping.

I think you're a little quick on the trigger, it's not just cheaters who assume that people cheat, it's also people who have been cheated upon or lied to. In general, I think this is asymmetrical. People who have never had t

libtask isn't using the ucontext syscall (normally), just the ucontext_t struct. If you look at the source code, it provides local assembly versions of the context swapping code for the most common architectures. That said, your libra

A lot of this hinges on whether you believe you should be exempt from your own moral standard. The idea of "racism" as requiring a position of power comes most directly as a reaction to the "reverse racism" bullshit from

Uh.. I would say that "well-articulated" is debatable, unless the whole article was meant as satire.

"This article makes me cringe. Is the author gay or a pseudonym for a girl?" You are officially part of the problem.

What makes Smart TV's basically useless long-term is that throwaway line you put on the end about the cable box. The same is true of AppleTV, playstation, xbox and every game console in existence. Some of this is obviously hardware ba

Ridiculous, I thought this fad was over already. This is a single platform, and in the video you see (naturally, young) people using either a laptop or an imac on it. It's ergonomically unsound unless you put an adjustable monitor sta

All this reminds me of when bozos start talking about "convergence" in the technology sphere. The US: doomed by middle management.

"i promise you that you don't program a computer with empathy no matter how hard you try" Perhaps non-intuitively, I believe this is not true. You can tell the programmers who lack empathy -- they write code with no consider

I always thought this "myth" was confined to C++ code (iterators) where there may in fact be code that does something analogous to what your "postincrement()" does. Compilers are sometimes smart enough to remove the unne

I was hoping that the author would be complaining about this, but they didn't. That is unfortunate. The date something was written is a very important part of its context. This is one thing newspapers get right, and a lot of "w

If you remember the (gnu, ossp) pth library or any of the various cooperative multitasking equivalents for C, this is all the people raised on javascript, who started writing callback APIs for C#/ObjC discovering the same idea. await i

This needs better examples. I find: v4si multiply_four(v4si a, v4si b) { return a*b; } Much more readable, and just as portable. There's a typedef for v4si, of course, but you do that exactly once and then ignore it. The IR p

How are RMS & JWZ not famous for using emacs? I was expecting more people outside of the usual computer science & industry suspects.

The problem with this mantra is that it is technically true, but, as a negative, leaves out the rest of the world. For example, Correlation also does not imply non-correlation. This is vacuous, of course, but it illustrates the problem wi

I don't get this. You mentioned in a subsequent comment that it's hard to be promoted inside google unless you "release", then go on to trash others by saying that Tools has unnecessary releases. So is this something pr

These journals like to say they need the exclusivity, prestige and money to support their editorial process. Yet, given the exclusivity, money and prestige, they apparently don't do a great job. On the other hand, is there a clear alt

Tangential question, not intended to the poo-poo this, which I think is great, but more of an information query: Do people actually find this better than upgrading your phone to do tethering and using an ultra book? I attempted to use my i

You have to be very self-critical when proposing thought experiments. Typically, they end up having no connection with reality (attempts to make variables independent which really aren't), I'm not sure it's productive to thi

This is a great talk, although maybe a little bit too precious (but this is common to a lot of [security] conference talks so I don't hold it against her). Pushing people towards using more formal methods to generate and accept protocols i

The point is not that you can represent it better. The point is that you can actually run it. You can't run the original notation (as such, we know languages that are close, of course). I agree that the terser notation is better if you'

I don't have any sources, but I suspect you are correct only up to the certain point. People are largely ok with mental illness which doesn't impose on them. Depression, yes, Schizophrenia, no. My impression is that if the condition invol

This is the problem with being a "programmer" with no domain. This is sort of like the one true programming language debate ("blub") where people want to evaluate mathematical notation as to their qualitative worth completely devoid of any

You have to define what you mean by "Ebonics". The term is awful... :-) According to the article's definition it doesn't sound like a crock at all. When a young person writes Spanish words and grammar in an English essay, sane people don'
